Another was
relatively high fuel consumption.
Not anyone can afford a BMW and that's because BMW are strong heavy power cars with
a relatively high fuel consumption.
Not exact matches
For example, the reason that just about everyone hits the wall during a marathon is because just about everyone runs at a far
higher consumption of energy than their fat - burning engine can produce — which is why they must rely on
relatively small sugar stores for
fuel, which is why they run out of energy at mile 17, and start losing power at mile 10.
The
fuel consumption figures will dictate
relatively high BIK and VED rates for certain users too, though at this point in the market that's not as much of an issue as it might be lower down the Mercedes pecking order.
Keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of greenhouse gases have been, and continue to be, emitted by the massive fossil
fuel consumption of a tiny percentage of the Earth's human population, most of them in countries with low rates of population growth — and that the overwhelming majority of human beings on the Earth, particularly those in countries with
relatively high rates of population growth, generate only a small amount of greenhouse gases.
I was recently surprised to find that my car, a Honda Jazz, — driven at
relatively low speeds because of mountain roads — would go up and down a 1000m mountain and average about the same
fuel consumption as when travelling a similar distance on level roads at
higher speeds!
From 2010 to 2011, CO2 emissions from fossil
fuel combustion decreased by 2.5 % due to: (1) a decrease in coal
consumption, with increased natural gas
consumption and a significant increase in hydropower used; (2) a decrease in transportation - related energy
consumption due to
higher fuel costs, improvements in
fuel efficiency, and a reduction in miles travelled; and (3)
relatively mild winter conditions resulting in an overall decrease in energy demand in most sectors.
